Probably farmer, actually. Adam and Eve
had to till the ground. Though, carpenter
is on the short list, too. And a carpenter
could have vice, or a vise.

Um, you use KY to eliminate grip in your vice.

Here's a good joke featuring grease.
A cowboy sitting in a saloon one Saturday night recognized an elderly
man standing at the bar who, in his day, had the reputation of being the
fastest gun in the West. The young cowboy took a place next to the
old-timer, bought him a drink and told him the story of his great ambition.
"Do you think you could give me some tips?" he asked. The old man looked
him up and down and said, "Well, for one thing, you're wearing your gun
too high. Tie the holster a little lower down on your leg."
"Will that make me a better gunfighter?" asked the young man. "Sure
will," replied the old-timer. The young man did as he was told, stood
up, whipped out his .44 and shot the bow tie off the piano player.
"That"s terrific!" said the hot shot. "Got any more tips for me?"
"Yep," said the old man. "Cut a notch out of your holster where the
hammer hits it; that'll give you a smoother draw" "Will that make me a
better gunfighter?" asked the younger man. "You bet it will," said the
old-timer.
The young man took out his knife, cut the notch, stood up, drew his gun
in a blur, and then shot a cufflink off the piano player. "Wow!"
exclaimed the cowboy "I'm learning somethin' here. Got any more tips?"
The old man pointed to a large can in a corner of the saloon. "See that
axle grease over there? Coat your gun with it." The young man went over
to the can and smeared some of the grease on the barrel of his gun.
"No," said the old-timer, "I mean smear it all over the gun, handle and
all."
"Will that make me a better gunfighter?" asked the young man.
"No," said the old-timer, "but when Wyatt Earp gets done playing the
piano, he's gonna shove that gun up your ass, and it won't hurt as much."

I use a nearly saturated solution of paraffin wax in mineral spirits.
It dries into a thin film of wax which is not a dust catcher. Also
use this on my table saw top and lathe ways.

Thanks.
What I use on my VISE is molybdenum disulfide. You can get it at a bicycle
store. They call it (dry slide) I use this on any metal items that have
friction. People that regrind engine cam shafts soak the cams in this
solution then let dry. The Moly coating has a 100,000 pounds per square inch
toughness. This leaves a dry coating of moly on the service. I have also
used it on plastic (nylon?) bearings and they never wear out. Search on your
computer for molybdenum disulfide and see all about it. WW

Being a church going man, I do try to avoid
vice. However, if I was married, I'd probably
use Vaseline, baby oil, or KY jelly for my vice.

I've tried HF brand of locking pliers. But when
I need to clamp onto and rotate some thing (like
a machine screw) the Vise Grip brand works so
much better.

Me?
I use KY jelly for my vice and my 'vice grips'.
I use moly-grease on my vise and vise-grips.

I've got some 45-year-old pairs of VISE-grip pliars that are as good as
the day they were made, sans a few scars on the teeth. I bought 'em new;
took care of them, and didn't use them as grinding holders or welding
accessories, except for the two Vise-Grip welders' clamps I use regularly
for that purpose. By needs, they won't last as long as the pliars have.

I posted that two days ago, and they didn't 'get' it.

Now, that sounds excellent.
I've heard of using a candle to help free stuck
nuts and bolts. Heat it up a bit. light the candle
and drip wax on the threads as it cools. When it
hits magic temp, the wax wicks in and lubes the
threads. I've not yet tried this.

Moly grease if any required on the vice, nothing on the vice-grips

Clean the dust out of grease? No, I don't clean the "grease" out of
my vise every day.

I don't grease my vise-grips, either.

None. Dirt catcher for w-working vise; never been a visible need on the
metal one. It gets enough oil from threading die/tap splash, etc.,
etc., to never get that dry.
Vise-grips would simply be a mess...a little spray silicone lube at
most, _maybe_, but never have needed that either (and have pairs that
are 50+ yr old used repetitively, frequently).

I have a few, and they work pretty good. About 20 years ago Crescent had
some locking pliers for sale that weren't to bad either. The local tool
store had them on closeout because they weren't selling so I bought a
couple. I have not tried any Vise Grips made after the big move to China.
I am wondering how their quality control is going with that. I have noticed
their recent advertising campaigns trying to associate hard working
Americans with their brand to combat the stigma of moving their production
to China.
